I think it's likely that there'll be second-order consequences that are worrisome, too. For example, war and revolution is extremely likely as the demographic order is remade. Already North Korea is saber-wrattling toward South Korea, the U.S. blames this on China, China (and Iran) blame it on the U.S, and a large portion of the Iranian government may be dead or incapacitated. If we get war after the plague that'll carry the death rate down into young men, and perhaps spark further plagues.
